Vincent Kompany will be remembered as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever defenders thanks, in part, to his incredible leadership skills.

The Belgian was appointed City’s captain in 2011, three years after joining the English side, and always conducted himself with the utmost professionalism both on and off the pitch.

He led by example and inspired his teammates. He even scored some hugely-important goals during his 11-year spell at City, including a header against Manchester United towards the end of the 2011-12 season and, of course, *that* absolute rocket against Leicester to help his team win the 2018-19 title back in May.

After captaining City to success in the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season, Kompany waved goodbye to the club he fell in love with in order to become player-manager at Anderlecht.

The 33-year-old began his career with the Belgian outfit and couldn’t turn down the opportunity to begin his coaching career back in Brussels.
